Description
The resistance of a thermistor decreases when they are heated (negative temperature coefficient type).
Features and Applications
Typical resistance values are 1 kilohm at 25°C and 80 ohms at 100°C.
Thermistors are suitable for temperature controlled switches and temperature measurement.
